The Best VR Games for Google Cardboard

Virtual reality is the latest exciting technology. Offering us the ability to dive into far more immersive experiences than traditional media, VR is an exciting development.

Though initially looking like solely the domain of pricey VR solutions like the Oculus Rift, Google’s own Google Cardboard allowed basic VR to be cheap. Using cardboard, some magnets, plastic lenses and your smartphone, you can get a “good enough” VR experience.

However, trying to find the best VR games for Google Cardboard can be a challenge. With so many apps boasting VR features but wildly varying quality, I’ve experienced some of the best (and worst) VR games on Google’s and Apple’s app stores to provide you the list of the best virtual reality games for Google Cardboard.

End Space VR

End Space VR is easily the most immersive VR game I’ve played for Google Cardboard. Placing you inside a spacecraft fighting for your life, End Space VR offers an arcade-like experience tasking you with shooting down enemy spacecraft whilst avoiding debris.

A recent update adds positional audio, making the whole experience far more immersive.

VR Tank Training

Enter the world of VR Tank Training, driving around a desert environment and destroying targets to get the best score. Global leaderboards are supported so you can compete against your friends to see who reins supreme.

InCell VR

InCell VR is an incredible experience, transporting you into a human cell that’s under attack from a virus. Combining action, racing and strategy elements with an interesting story and top-notch graphics, InCell VR is a must download.

There’s nothing quite like racing down a tube, spinning around whilst being chased.

Cmoar VR Cinema Pro

Cmoar’s VR cinema ramps up the immersion with a far more detailed cinema with dynamic lighting cast by the screen. It looks incredible in action. In addition to 2D and 3D movie support, you can also watch 2D and 3D YouTube videos right in the app.

The experience comes at a slight premium, but if you’re planning to watch alot of movies in VR, it’s a small price to pay.
